damn, your pretty lucky man, should buy 649. I have heard this b4, but all these problem seems to happen to the IS250, has anyone got these problem with the IS350? it really worries me now.

I do Have aftermarket HIDs but i have had them for a yr and if the magnet was the problem this should happen every time the ballast are activated but it dosen't a magnet is going to interfere with the a circuit every time not just once. take a strong enough magnet close to your TV and it will mess with it everytime not just once. Atleast thats what i think.

The Wheel jerks pretty hard and you have to be Quick its sudden.

I was lucky that i was in the right lane so no cars to the right of me. and there was a emergency lane before the ditch or i would have ended up in the ditch rolled over.
And Extremly lucky that it didn't go to the left or i would have gone into a SUV head on.

I love my 2IS i do want to trade up to a 350 but they have to fix these problems, and I am headed to tokyo for 3 yrs so when i get bk ill see if the 3 gen is just as appealing to me then maybe that.

yeah thats what people suspect because the two cars this had happened to had this in common, after considering the circumstance under which this occurred.

the two people that this happened to also had their HID installed for a while before this suddenly happened. below is the thread that you can read more about. and there's some good explanation regarding what might have been happening.

Guys seriously the recall on the GX470 is garbage...Consumer Reports say that the SUV is highly to roll over on a high speed turn IF the car slides and hits a curb!...NO DUH! (wouldn't this happened to ALL SUV's), and thats why they put the Caution stickers on the sun visor about roll overs!...Although the NHTA has not received any complaints or has Consumer Reports. Here is the video from Yahoo!

srsly, ur so lucky u could hold it tho
hope it never happens to my IS250, but im in australia and our cars have the steering on the right side

Humm, I have my hids installed like all the others on here as well. There is not many other places to install the ballast that I could see. I bought my HID kit from HIDextra? Any others having steering problems with this kit? what HID where used when the issue occurred?

Watch this video of another member's steering going crazy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn0B2lpzSlc

And read his entire thread here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ering-out.html

He concluded that it was caused by aftermarket HIDs. Were your lights on when this happened? I guess we can only know for sure if you turn your lights off while it is happening and the steering wheel goes back to normal.

DJSirkit13

my lights were on auto and they had kicked on when i started the car. i keep my lights on auto all the time and they turn on and off as they are suppose too but never before has it done this.
I took the car for a spin this morning turning the lights from off to on to back off and nothing happened this time.

So a mod gone bad, could be a warranty problem at dealership too.

The GX460 issue identified by CR has nothing to do with this.
